Why Would I Write

  • Gig #56 and #57

    Wow, I know I said that after my EP was completed this year, I’d be focusing on the The Wishing instead of 2storeyheart, but it seems like the other way round instead. I’ve tried playing with Jason for a couple of gigs, but we kept bombing cos we didn’t have enough practice. The best performance we ever did was probably the one at Fete De La Musique (the video below) and cos we rehearsed like crazy for that gig. Haha. We do have some new ideas for some new songs, but things have been going pretty slowly. And the mic port on my soundcard is now spoilt, so I can’t do any home demos in the mean time which brings me to the next point of this post: my next 2 gigs!

    Junk Open Mic at The Bee Cafe
    Wednesday, 8th September 2010
    8.30pm onwards
    It’s an open mic, so I’ll have to register when I get there so I have no idea what time I’ll be playing, but I’ll try to get a later slot cos I know my friends are always late 😛 Since it’s a Junk event, I guess there will be a lot of people turning up for the event. I get to play 2 songs, so I’ll be debuting one new song (never performed live before..ever!) and playing one song you’ve heard before. And if that isn’t enough, come for the Bee Burger. Trust me, it is GOOD 😀

    RAWR!!! The Gig
    Saturday, 2nd October 2010
    8.00-11.00pm

    Hey guys!

    The first of many gigs to come, RAWR! The Gig features a good mix of bands in the Malaysian music scene coming together for a great party. Organized by pop punk/easycore heavyweight, An Honest Mistake, this is a gig that you don’t wanna miss!

    The goal is to feature budding talents in the scene by creating a platform for them to showcase their music, as well as to promote themselves. Being acoustic-based, the barrier of audience-artiste will be brought closer, if not ‘disappear’; to a place of intimacy.

    The first will feature:

    An Honest Mistake
    For This Cycle (SG)
    Eshia
    Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob
    Fragments & Frictions
    Rosevelt
    Eve
    Dichi Michi
    A Ruthless Cleansing
    2 Storey Heart

    It’s an awesome line up, with acts you are bound to enjoy, cos I enjoy them too 😀 I’ll get to play a 15 minute set, so I can fit in a number of songs for this gig. And it’s been a long time since I’ve played at the same show as AHM, Sausage and Eve so I’m pretty stoked! I can already tell it’s going to be one crazy night!

    Both gigs will have no cover charge, so just drag your asses down to the show! See you guys there 😀

  • The Wishing – So Over You

    This is The Wishing’s first ever performance to a handful of people at Fete De La Musique 2010 in KL. So Over You is the working title of the song, we still haven’t got a proper title yet 😛 and it’s the second song we wrote. Lyrics are basically self-explanatory (really), and I hope you guys enjoy it!

    The Wishing – So Over You

    I woke up this morning and I realized I didn’t care if you dreamt of me last night
    We can both be such pricks
    But that’s alright
    Couldn’t care less if you’re seeing him or if he completes you
    Have a nice life and stay away
    Can’t say I miss your taste (or face)

    Here’s the final nail in the coffin
    That I buried so long ago
    And I really hope you hear this song
    Because I want to let you know
    That I’m, so over you (so over you)
    That I’m, so over you (so over you)

    It’s been two years since we ended things, you told me you were migrating
    Last time I checked you were still around
    But that’s alright
    Couldn’t care less if I bumped into you, in the backseat making out to
    The sounds of Death Cab For Cutie
    ‘Cos I’ve been there, done that (I was first)
